My partner had booked to stay the night for myself and my partners' 5th year anniversary. My partner had a confirmation email stating the booking details for the evening. Just after booking the room my partner had called me to inform me that the hotel didn't have a room available for us that evening, and that they had transferred us to another hotel in Bridgwater so we could stay there instead. My partner had asked for confirmation of the change, but the lady on the desk had reassured him there was no need and all was sorted at her end. About 5 minutes after this, he had another call stating that the lady on desk wasn't able to do the transfer on the computer as no one on shift knew how to do it and the manager wasn't answering their phone. My partner had asked if she could do it manually (either call the other hotel or send an email across with the reference number) but she said she was not able to do it as " that's not how it works here". The lady then suggested we booked another room at another Premier Inn nearby and that we should call the refund number on Tuesday to issue the refund. Unfortunately, at this time, it was too late to rebook and paying double for no fault of our own is ridiculous. The issue is if you don't have the room, then why take more money and not refund it immediately after realising. Another issue I have is the attitude of the lady on the desk on Saturday 4th May and behind the phone calls. I didn't catch her name, but she was very rude, bolshy and unhelpful. After all, our 5 year anniversary was ruined and this was no fault of our own and apparently a transfer had to be done on the computer and was not able to be done any other way. I hope they realise that this is unacceptable taking peoples money and not sorting out the issues when things could be resolved. The whole night was ruined!!!
